Wouter Tavernier received a M. Sc. in Computer Science in 2002 from Ghent University (Belgium) and a B. Sc. degree in Philosophy in 2003 from K.U.Leuven (Belgium). After a two-year period as business analyst at Accenture Belgium, he joined the Internet-Based Communication Networks and services group of Ghent University in 2005 to research future internet-topics including resiliency of (Carrier) Ethernet and IP networks, geometric routing and the application of (machine) learning techniques in the context of routing and switching. This work was performed in relation to European projects such as TIGER, ECODE, SPARC and EULER. This research has lead to a Phd. degree in Computer Science Engineering from Ghent University (Belgium) in 2012. Current research focuses on Software-Defined Networks and Service Function Chaining in the context of national and European research projects such as UNIFY.
